Final Standings.
Well the NCAA tournament is all over and it is official Hank Styles is the winner. (I was second) Sorry it took so long to update. I blame Andrew Maves for the hate mail he has been putting on the internet about me. Any ways it was obvious from the very beginning that Kansas would win which is why I picked them to win. What were the rest of you thinking?
In hockey the useless Bruins (0 and 9 vs the Habs this year) continue their ineptitude. After this series if the Bruins don't pull it out they will be my second most hated team. If they had just beat Montreal every game this year then Montreal would have missed the playoffs. (seriously how hard is that?)
To cheer me through this season I have found a brilliant link. It is called: Stuff on My Cat Finally another quality website to go with my own.
Well here were the final standings. Most of you should be disappointed with yourselves.

March Madness Update
Ok here is the situation. If Kansas wins then Hank Styles will be declared the champion of the world. If Memphis wins then my wife Joanna who picked her brackets based on how lazy she thought the people of each city were will win. This just goes to prove that you do not have to be an expert to do your brackets. I happen to know that neither Hank or Jo have watched a single game of NCAA basketball this year. I will do a final standings after Monday night.
(editers note: Jo wanted me to add that her picks were also based on how much shame the teams would feel from their community if they lost. She felt that was important for me to add.
On a sad note. Carolina did not make the playoffs. This ticks me off as Montreal did (thanks to Boston being useless throughout the year) In the last 6 years Montreal has only made the playoffs twice and both times were destroyed by Carolina. (Incidentally Carolina made the finals both of those years)(I do believe they won the Stanley Cup as well) So here is the deal. I need a favourite team for the playoffs. Here will be the criteria:
Is the team playing Montreal?
That's it.
Whoever beats out Montreal will be my team throughout the playoffs and I will break my NHL merchandise purchasing boycott to support that team financially. Hopefully this will inspire those teams to play harder.
